Déjà vu

Wait...

Didn't this already happen?

Didn't this already happen?

Hey

Didn't this already happen?

I bite the same words before they leave my mouth

The coffee burns my tongue in that exact same spot

She tilts her head and laughs like she's on script

I finish her sentence, then pretend I'm surprised

My keys are in the wrong pocket again

But my hands already knew where they'd be

Every heartbeat skips like it's reading old lines

Every silence screams "you've been here a thousand times"

High now? Déjà vu, spinning me around

Who the hell am I this time?

Shadows in the mirror wearing my crown

Lost in a life that isn't mine

Déjà vu, breaking through the sound

Am I the echo or the sound?

Déjà vu, Déjà vu, Déjà vu, vu, vu, vu, vu, vu

Boss

Boss says the same praise with that plastic smile

I nod like it's the first time in a while

Her fingers trace a scar I don't remember getting

But my body reacts like it's been waiting

Late night texts from a number I deleted last June

Yet I already know what she's about to say too

The city lights rearrange but never change

I'm stuck inside a song I forgot I wrote

What's now? Déjà vu, spinning me around

Deep. Who the hell am I this time?

Shadows in the mirror wearing my crown

Lost in a life that isn't mine

Déjà vu, tearing the veil down

Am I the actor or the line?

Déjà vu

What if I'm not even the main character?

Just a background actor who keeps forgetting his mark

Every funeral, every wedding, every cheap motel

Feels like I'm watching the same soul rot in different shells

Wait... didn't this already happen?

Wars on TV, kisses at 3 a.m., promises I break

Same mistakes in brand new skin, same hunger, same ache

Again, again, again

Déjà vu, dragging me under

Is this the end or just the start?

I'm everyone and I'm no one

A walking, breathing work of art

Déjà vu, ripping me in two

Tell me, which version of me is you?

Wait, wait, wait

Didn't this already happen?

Yeah

Didn't this already happen?

Yeah, we've been here before

Déjà vu
